Ever see the movie Rollerball. No, not the terrible remake, the original with James Caan. It has come to pass. Not exactly like that, but life has no meaning to the elites. And clung onto in twisted ways by the religious right. While life goes astray. The masses have become numb to death, while completely fixated on their own immortality. God help us.

What if goldfish dont like freeze dried human? would his remains expand and float around, creatinga health hazard? And just gross? Isnt it canabalism second hand? Would the artiste clean the tank, and perhaps take a nibble? Would he go to jail? Hell? Insane asylum?

I read elsewhere about the having people eat the fish afterwards bit. Who would do that? Mark McGowan might, but I don’t know if he would have the stomach for it either. That part is more ‘out there’ than the rest.

Glad you posted this. I’m looking more into the guy. I remember the fuss over Helena. If I can’t land an interview I will at least write an article about this and give my thoughts. The inmate killed his step-brother, step-mother, and father. I don’t think serving him up to goldfish and then serving those goldfish to people will make people forget that.

I understand what he is exploring theme-wise, but I don’t really understand why live fish in a blender or fish chowing on remains in a tank is the only option he can think of other than nabbing press easy. He done it twice before with the blender installation. Anyone else notice a formula?

If you want press the easy way it seems you have to kill something in the name of art, use body fluid in the name of art, or use over a million bucks in materials in the name of art. OR make up something involving one of these– or a combination– and have people sign online petitions against it.

Shock art.. I wait for it’s demise more eagerly than I hope for the end to global oppression. Tis a bit late to be riding that wave. Oooh.. I know, I’ll behead puppies while dancing naked through the street near a playground. The corpse of humanity cannot be re-awakened with defibrillator art. Just one more way to make us yawn in the face of horror.

Merchants of hell are we.. indistinguishable from those wish wish to decry. How can we show the world what it has become when we just blend into the horror itself?

It would quickly take the show from a “General” rating to a “Mature” rating.

Anonymous, I agree that shock art can become a little tiring, but I think it’s here to stay for a while yet, so we may as well look entertained. Do a little shock art yourself.. cut them puppy heads off.. who knows, you might even like it..lol.

You ARE a baaaaad boy arent you? Damn, thought I was mean becaue I want to shoot that damn squirrel making noise out back. Stuff it and frame it? Call it The Plague #327? Off to dinner and home, have a productive day.
